REGIONAL FINALS TOURNAMENT
We are excited to host the Regional Finals Tournament for the National History Bee, National Science Bee, and International Geography Bee here at Smith on April 15th. All students took a qualifying exam in their social studies classes in December or January. We are proud to say we have a tremendous number of qualifiers eligible to participate in the regional tournament. Students were notified if they qualified through their social studies class. We are looking forward to a great turnout as we are hosting the event for the 2nd year in a row here at Smith. It is now time to register if you would like to participate. Please see the letter with registration details.
EARLY PICK-UP REMINDER
NO STUDENT PICK-UP AFTER 2:45PM
Please remember that we ask that parents do not pick students up after 2:45pm unless it is a true emergency. If you have an appointment to get to, please pick students up before 2:45pm.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Life Skills classes learned about Breakfast this week and had their first 3 cooking labs. Kids are ready to cook up some scrambled eggs, French toast, and pancakes during our 4-day weekend! They are excited for more cooking labs to come.
Please take a moment to review the drop-off / pick-up map below. We are seeing some specific issues in the parking lot that we want to bring to your attention.
- The middle lane is for drop-off / pick-up only. Please do not park in that row. Pulling in and out of the parking spots is slowing down drop-off and creating dangerous situations for students and vehicles.
- If you are going to park your car for drop-off / pick-up, please use the third row of parking spots highlighted in below in blue.
- Please do not drop students off at the Martell/Cotswold intersection.
Thank you for your continued patience and attention to safety as we have over 600 students entering and exiting our school every day!
